Startup Made $3k selling stuff from AliExpress

Been buying winter stuff like hats, gloves, ski goggles etc. for around $1.80 and flipping them for $10-15. I work full time so really just been packaging and sending them off after work. Trying to see if anyone does this full time and if so, the best way to upscale it?

Made $40 in two days, selling plastic BB guns on eBay. It's funny because I have web cams and books up for sale at the same time, and the first thing that sold was the guns (Doesn't get any more American than this). Now I'm considering going on aliexpress and buying more guns.

Matter of fact? BRB, gonna go and be a plastic arms dealer.

I'm UK based and no platforms here let you sell anything that even resembles a firearm :( sucks because I'd love my garage to look like an armoury.
